That would be the more logical step... but I guess there are still some people out there who feel that if they don't vote Liberal or Conservative, they're just throwing their vote away.

Pretty much anywhere else in Canada and that would be true, but in BC and Manitoba/Saskatchewaan the NDP, Liberals, and Conservatives pretty much have the support split 3 ways. Current support in BC is 34% Liberal, 30% Conservative, and 28% NDP, and in Manitoba/Saskatchewaan(don't you love that they lump them into a single poll?) the support is 34% Liberal, 27% Conservative, and 34% NDP. And both those polls have a silly 6% margin for error. Meaning they're all pretty much neck and neck.
I'll likely vote NDP again. They did good during this short term. The conservatives ripped into them for dealing with the corrupt liberals but I mean, they had the least number of seats in the house, they couldn't do anything themselves and they weren't going to team up with the conservatives. Minority governments are where the NDP shine. Thats how they got the public health care system started.
Not going to happen but the government I'm hoping for is a Liberal majority with an NDP opposition.
